ORE+OWLED (Re: Getting organized)

Let's keep the threads separated.

We need to talk about ORE, OWLED, and their possible joint future.

We need to talk about getting the OWL community group rolling.

Cheers,
Bijan.

Having ORE coloed with the summer of logic with the other competitions makes sense whereas its not obvious we can fit owled in. Also, it seemed like good outreach at DL. We may want to have a rotating schedule. Eg every other year with owled.
